Line 38:
* [[Argentina Is Naziland]]: Eichmann flees to Argentina after the war.
* [[Badass Boast]]: Subverted. Whilst many of the Nazis do get some great lines, especially during the inter service rivalry, none of them actually raise the standing of the characters in the audience's eyes one bit, nor are the speakers [[Badass]] in the least:
{{quote| '''Neumann''': Neumann, Director, Office of the Four Year Plan.<br />
'''Klopfer''': Klopfer, Party Chancellery. Of the ''Thousand Year'' Plan. }}
** And:
{{quote| '''Klopfer''': I'll remember you.<br />
'''Stuckart''': You should, I'm very well known. }}
* [[Bad Boss]]: [[Playing With|Played with]]. When one of the waiters drops a plate in front of Eichmann everyone craps themselves, only for Eichmann to order him to pay for it himself. However, it is made clear by the servants' body language that working for Eichmann is not pleasant. Later on, Eichmann threatens to have someone sent to the Russian front.
Line 51:
** Eichmann is incredibly angry when the SS drivers are found having a snowball fight outside. He feels this conduct is unbecoming of SS men, and threatens to have them sent to the Russian front.
** [[Being Evil Sucks]]: Kritzinger feels this way by the end of the film:
{{quote| '''Kritzinger''': It is night in Moscow already. Soon it will be dark here. Will any of us live to see the dawn?}}
* [[Big Bad]]: Heydrich.
* [[Bigger Bad]]: Hitler and the top Nazis.
Line 57:
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: For most of the participants, especially those who made no moral objections, the events of the film are just one more meeting in a very busy week.
* [[But You Screw One Goat!]]: Russians, according Roland Friesler:
{{quote| '''Friesler''': As long as he has a bottle of vodka to suck and some form of domesticated animal to fuck, the Russian doesn't care who rules him.}}
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Nobody takes Erich Neumann seriously apart from Erich Neumann.
* [[Deadly Decadent Court]]: The Nazi hierarchy is portrayed this way, with various power struggles and threats bringing their fallout to the table.
Line 123:
* [[Truth in Television]]: Most of the film. Unfortunately.
* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: Again, this is how the Nazis express themselves, and how they rationalize what they are planning to do. Obviously, the world they want to create is less than Utopian:
{{quote| From Oslo to Lisbon, from Vladivostok to Belfast, ''no Jews.''}}
* [[Villain Cred]]: Heydrich has a lot. Neumann would like some, but generally fails miserably.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Everyone, essentially, but especially Heydrich and Eichmann.
